THE MOST ENIGMATIC AND SCARY TRUMPET

“Kangling— a trumpet made out of a human thigh-bone for use inTibetan Buddhismrituals, such asChod. The otherworldly sound of the instrument celebrates generosity and connection to other people and creatures in a world where life and death are intertwined.”

THE ORCHESTRA OF DEATH

Kangling should only be used in chödrituals performed outdoors with the chöd damaru and bell.

In Tantric chöd practice, the practitioner, motivated by compassion, plays the kangling as a gesture of fearlessness, to summon hungry spirits and demons so that she or he may satisfy their hunger and thereby relieve their sufferings. It is also played as a way of “cutting off of the ego.”
